Orphan Black (TV Series) Newer Elements of Our Defense (2015) User Reviews

Getting better, but I'm still not entirely sold on the new season.

It turns out they didn't kill Mark. That's good, because when I thought they had killed him, it felt like it was purely for shock value. Not only would it have accomplished nothing, but it would have undone everything Sarah has done this season. Luckily, it didn't come to that, so he and Sarah search for the Castor original tissue.

Breaking Bad has been my touchstone to explain the Hendrix story, but this episode, Donnie actually mentions Breaking Bad. The irony is, I thought this episode was actually starting to lean more towards Fargo.

Helena escapes her cell, but ruins her chance of escape when she does something else. Gracie has a miscarriage. Her mother says it was because the lord is angry, but I think it has more to do with the fact that they tried to GROW A BABY IN A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL. Seriously, these proletheans have got another thing coming.

A Brothership Till Death!

This episode begins with Bonnie, she just shot down Mark with a sniper. Mark survived the gunshots. Sarah helps Mark to get out of the cornfields. Sarah pulls the bullet out of Mark's leg. Alison and Donnie got threatened by Lionel. Alison has a meeting with Jason about drugs. Gracie lost her child. Helena got out of her cell. Helena found a new Castor clone: Parsons. Helena killed Parsons with a scalpel. Sarah knocked down Miller with a shovel. Nice Episode of Orphan Black Season 3, so much action and exciting moments this episode. I liked the character development of Mark!

Not so smart!

A dramatic above-average episode with unrealistic happenings, yet with good acting. The power of Maslany is almost gone and mumbo jumbo has taken its place with parallel sub-plots having Prison break, Fargo and Breaking bad vibes.

Not so smart!

Feeling a sort of connection with their new brothers

[SJulien12 · 9/10 · 20 January 2023]

As Mark yo-yos between life and death, Sarah and him finally access the biological material that they need, but as usual Rudy ruins everything. I wasn't sure I liked Gracie, but she's a very interesting character because of her age, her family, and her doubts about her own values. Helena, with her slightly achy scorpion, doesn't give up and shows creativity by turning a bone into a key, but would rather end a Castor's pain than escape. To Paul's dismay and to Virginia's joy, who sees a sort of gift in this, it is Sarah who goes to prison instead of Helena leaving it. The two sisters, neither of whom are known for their calmness, will bring some action in the camp during the next two episodes.
